woah. you’re damn right!

I hope other manufacturers do similar stuff about “adding lightness”.

Oh, I’d be shocked if a major manufacturer wasn’t doing virtually all of their designs with computational fluid dynamics software before the car is even built. I might be a little surprised if it goes in a wind tunnel at all, except to validate that what the computer thought would happen is what actually did happen.

22 combined is good mpg?

Or perhaps practicality is the reason to be a hybrid Corolla - and the Prius is supposed to give Toyota a bit of brand cachet by wrapping the same basic thing into something a bit more aimed at causing heads to turn?

If 1.4 seconds faster than a brz 0-60 is “not much quicker” I don’t want to know your other metrics ... Let alone the 370 chassis and HR motor was developed how many years before the 86?

Are you one of those people who think that ‘developing country’ money isn’t as credible as ‘first world money’? Vietnam is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. VinFast’s owner is a USD billionaire and owns half of Hanoi. That’s fucking power, my guy.

What is happening in this picture?  Why is the bottom different from the top?

This is easily the most interesting Jalopnik article of the year.

Vingroup has businesses all over Vietnam. You might buy groceries at VinMart and clothing at VinPlaza.

Hey Jalopnik! More articles like this.

Seems to me that’s what VinFast was expecting.
